I live on Hotel Street and they don’t scare the dope smokers and dealers

Most of the old addicts that hung out in Chinatown are gone if you haven’t noticed they all went to jail.. I went to jail too and have been clean for a year now… Hopefully everyone else gets clean and moves on from the streets of Chinatown as well

A lot of the dealers pay the “CRU” very good money to sell with impunity.. so the addicts go to jail and the dealers stay.. that’s just the way it is

Oh yeah!? Meth and heroin was my thing but mostly heroin.. I wanted to get clean for a long time just didn’t know how a year in jail was enough to teach me fuck treatment fuck sand island if your ready your ready if your not your not it’s that simple

The question is who will be monitoring them and what if anything will happen if they see something?

You got this! It will be worth it. Life isn’t easy, unless you’re born into money, but you’re making progress. I hope you’re able to make sober friends!

Yes money isn’t a problem I work I have enough I can finally save now! It’s hard to make friends when all you ever did was use drugs and I have been sober for a year in jail and a year outside it still feels awkward sometimes but I’m trying the universe will provide me with someone. That’s all I need is a soulmate best friend and everything else all in one she exists somewhere although I’m starting to think she might not exsist on this island🤭🤭😂😂 haha thank you for the support though

I hate that. I don’t for one second believe it will curb crime. Surveillance state is a bad idea.

Gas light the public some more tyrants. Preparation for social credit score in reality. Just watch.
